It is curious there's a FILE_DELETE IDL command, but no file copy? Huh.

How about:

CASE ( STRUPCASE( !VERSION.OS_FAMILY ) ) OF

'UNIX': SPAWN, 'cp ' + from_file + ' ' + to_file
'MACOS': SPAWN, <whatever the Mac command is>
'WIN': SPAWN, <whatever the Windows command is>
'VMS': SPAWN, <whatever the VMS command is>
ELSE: 'IDL on PDP 11/70 is no longer supported :o)'

ENDCASE

Of course the non-unix results for !VERSION.OS_FAMILY above are made up. :o)

It's a RAW file.

I will use the file-copy routine of Mark.

Thanx a lot.

Yes, it's curious.

I have a file-copy routine that reads & writes a file using IDL commands

http://katipo.niwa.cri.nz/~hadfield/gust/software/idl/mgh_fi le_copy.pro

It requires IDL 5.4. For IDL 5.3 there's

Oops. There was a bug in MGH_FILE_COPY. Just a small thing really: it had
"while eof(lun)" where it should have had "while not eof(lun)".

Thanks to Miguel for finding it.

It's fixed now.
